He told AVTV: "This is my first ever Villa match. But it's not back at Villa Park! Rest assured, that dream will come true for me one day. This is the first step towards it.

"I will be at Villa Park with wings! I would love to go this coming season. I will be checking my schedule.

"My life will not be complete until I'm at Villa Park! I want to be rooting on the claret and blue to a magnificent win over those suckers like Stoke City or Wolverhampton Wanderers or Queen's Park Rangers!"
